| The President in his letter OF regret to the
| Mayor Of St Louis remarks that his unpopularity
| with the Grand Army is due to certain official
| acts done under the restraints and obligations
| of his oath of Office II he refers to the Original
battie-flags order he is long way of in his
| reckoning. The return OF the captured flags
would have been an illegal act. since the Presi-
dent has no authority to dispose of the property
Of the Government without an act of Congress.
This certainly was not an official act done
under the restraints and obligations OF his oath
OF Office Ii the project had been carried out
it wouh have involved violation of his oath of
office

This Is the first PRESIDENT since tho who
has lost tho confidence of the Union soldiers
and is afraid to meet them.
Darkness that may be felt and cut up into
solid chunks as big as a -four barrel has settled
down upon Rochester. Men go about the streets
with compressed lips and brows a good deal CORFU
gated. The art gallery In Powers building is
deserted. The local Ice cream festivals fail to
draw. The newspaper men neglect to write cruel
paragraphs at the expense of Buffalo. Ministers
off on their summer vacations have been recalled

IL Is Rochester's baseball nine that has wrought
the woe. Rochester people, so "The Democrat
and Chronicle reports, have not been satisfied
with the playing of the team, neither have the
directors, who tast evening came to the conclusion
that something must be done and that rapidly.
1t has been sadly apparent that the team has been
playing listlessly. and the directors are going
to have them play in different manner not
play at all II is sadly apparent that comment
is unnecessary. There has been more mournful
incident In the history of Rochester since sam
Patch was put out while trying TO make home
run over Genesee Falls.

The President. since he cannot make up his |
mind to go into camp with the Union veterans, |
ought at least to send the substitute who served |
for him In wartime. The substitute has been
making considerable noise lately and complaining |
that he was not treated very generously by Mr..
Cleveland, the Buffalo lawyer. lie would probably
be willing to represent the President at st. Louis
if his travelling expenses and hotel bills were
guaranteed.

better treated In jail than man who steals o
hamp And why does not the discrimination in
favor Of the big tLief awaken popular condem-

case of Sharp. we answer that bribery is not
punished In New-YorlS by death, and that would
probably have followed If the aged and sick man
